stone occurring in strata near Cimbritshamn, Gladsax, Andrarum, 
and Hardeberga, in Scania. The surface of the whetstones 
always shows distinct marks of sharpening or grinding. 
They vary considerably in size and shape. The majority have 
not been portable, but have been lying in or beside the huts of 
the natives. Some of them, however, are small, flat, or annular ; 
such a stone may have been carried in the pouch on hunting 
excursions. 
C 22. 
Stone implements resembling No. 3, Case C 22, are, with 
some hesitation, classed by Nilsson as stone anvils ; they may 
have been used as mealing stones, and probably do not belong 
to a very early period. The under surface of No. 3 is much 
worn, apparently from rubbing. 
C 23. 
Nos. I to 7, rubbed stone hatchets. 
C 24. 
No. I is a rubbed stone axe ; it was perhaps intended to be 
drilled. Nos. 2 and 3 are drilled stone axes. No. 4 is the upper 
stone of a quern, probably of late date ; it was found at Rends- 
burg. 
A 37- 
Stone Hatchets. 
The flint hatchets in this Case are chiefly polished. No. 5 
is a fine specimen ; it is wholly unrubbed on the under surface, 
and is probably in an unfinished state. No. 7 shows considerable 
wear at the cutting edge. No. 10 is greatly bruised at the butt 
end, as if it had been driven like a wedge by a number of blows. 
No. 20 is very highly polished. Three tolerably distinct types of 
hatchet will be observed in this Case. 
{a). Hatchets rather thick, and of nearly equal breadth through- 
out the length of the blade ; such as Nos. 5 and 6. 
{b). Hatchets tapering in width towards the butt end, and 
much thicker than a; such as Nos. 9, 11, 13, 14, and 16. Some 
examples of this type curve outward at each side of the cutting 
edge, such as Nos. 2 and 8.
